A Bubo in the Wood.
Last Monday cveuing the dead body of a I
new-born male child was found i.nder a cedar j
"tree, in a secluded place, about one mile from |
Abbeville Court House, where it had been j
born only a few hours before.
'J he children of Jake White, a colored man
In the neighborhood, discovered it, and he j
reported the fact to Mr. J. S. Hammond, thej
intendant of the town, who instructed White
:to take care of it until next morning, when
in*1 coroner wouiu uu imumu, ,
CoronerSliillito empanelled a jury yesfer-l
{lay morning to enquire into tfce cause of ttie j
xieath of the child.
| iiJr.?. Mabry & llill were summoned as ex-1
pert witnesses, who examined the body, re-1
moving the lungs, and upon examination tlie |
Doctors were satisfied that the child had been !
"born alive. The congestion of the lungs iudi-|
fated that it must have been smothered, perhaps
by the discarded garment of the mother)
Iu which it was wrapped. No marks of vio-j
lence were found upon itsbedy. The Doctors j
are of opinion that it eould not have been j
born earlier than .Sunday night. A person j
who saw it Monday night thought It had been
born only a few hours before. The body was
that of a mature child, remarkable for its
beauty, and in a state of perfect preservation.
No clue as to who the mother is, has
been discovered, and as yet suspicion rests
upon no one. The affair Is clothed in myste- :
ry. Yesterday evening it furnished a theme :
for corner loafers. None, save the All-seeing
Kye, can know the anguish of body and <
mind which that mother has endured andji
will endure because of the life and death of ,
that child. It is pitiful. It is .pitiful indeed.
The question as to which race the child belonged
being unsettled, the question as to ,
where it should be buried was raised. As a ,
compromise. Intendent Hammond ordered |
.Marshal Kirb.v to bury it on the edge of a
private colored bucving ground on his farm.
The body was placed in a common small
goods box. without aiv.v preparation, when
one of the street hands put it under his arm,
and carried it to thc placc assigned, when Mr. '
Kirby saw the interment. ]

The case of John Eh Ellis against Junius C.
.Martin, administrator of the estate of Wil- <
liam Robertson, deceased, wns veutillatod ad \
nnuxenm. This involved a bill against fhe estate
of deceased for services and attention
during his last illness. Robertson was taken
siek on his way from Abbeville Court House,
.and rested by tfce wayside. Unable to go further
he was taken to the house of the plain
"tiff, where he remained until he died the
next night. His illness was of a very disa- '
greeable nature. For services aud injury to <
property, Mr. Kills hrought suit f<?r S150. The
jury thought 530 would i-ompensate him. Col. ?

Graydon for defendant. (
The remainder of Monday was taken up in ]
hearing dilatory motions.
On Tuesday the Court hoard the case of
Cooley <t Williams against David C. Cooley, !
which occupied nearly all tlie day. This was '
one of those pleasant suits which come between
father and sou, and in which the par- '
lies differ widely as to the state ot the facts.
Unexpected witnesses turned the scale and ]
the jury pave a verdict for the defendant. I
Col E. B. Murray, of Anderson, for plaintiff 5

leet the word, but we believe the ladles '
describe It as un "embroidered quilt," 'we add- !
iuc that it is the craziest of Hie crazy kind, 1
with flcures, shapesand combinations so bewi
Iderinuly beautiful as to paralyze the eye I
<?f the beholder and strike him dumb with ]
admiration. This scribe hud theirood fortune i
'to have some of the beauties and attractions
of this superb fliiilt pointed out. to him in
person by the fairest <?f the adorable ;
divinities, nnd this fact lent an Additional
charm to that which was before Indescribably
beautiful. We at once "took a chance"
sit that quilt on condition that. Mr. II. I).
Iteese ne not allowed to have a "chance." He
always wins at every ruffle. As a matter of l
special favor to them a few other of our <
younsr men will be allowed to hav?? a chance
at thelovellestqulltin the town. Callai Speed (

Funny Fire. ,
Messrs. Hell <0 Gaipliin have a sfove In their j
store, the pipe of which passes through I)r.
MarsuiU's back piazza up stairs to the roof, i
The top joints df'the pipe fell off Monday (
morning, and the sparks from the stove went
'llytne akainst the'ceilinsr, and. for a while a
big tire seemed imminent. As soon as possi- <
ble somebody ran with buckets of water '
which was promptly poured down the mouth
of the Hue. At that time the ladies in the i
store were sitting: near thestove perfectly unconscious
of dancer. When the water came .
into the siove, put o-.it the fire and ran on the
floor they did not know whether an earth
ciuaKO orac.vcione ram kitocr mui t"t-i.n>u m
the world. Except, the little damage done by
-soot and water. no ftirtlier harm was done <
than to give the ladies a shocking surprise.
Good Xcwn for the Teachers.
"We learn from the cashier of the National <
Bank at Abbeville that our wide-awake and
over thoughtful School Commissioner, George
C. Hodges, has made arrancemenls with the
bank to have the pay certificates of teachers
cashed at the lea?t possible discount?one per <
cent, a month. For instance: the discount in
February Would he eight per cent.; in March,
seven per cent, and so on down. This will,
'in the aseregate, save to the teachers a larze
amount of money. We believe the lowest
price at which- these papers have been heretofore
shaved has been ten per cent. ofT, no matter
how near the day for the collection of taxes.
Let the bank and the School Commissioner
be thanked. .
Cotton Without Gnano.
Mr. J. D.'Miller, of Long Cane, nr.ade about 1
seventy bates of cotton this year without the
u<e of a'pound of comfnerclal fertilizers. He '
.gathered the manures about his place and
composted his cotton seed. I-Ie made about 1
seven bales'to the horse. The result is, that }
he owes nothing on it, and he now holds the
greater paft of his crop for better prices. I

The Oat Crop.
The belief is general that the oat crop In <
this county has been entirely killed out nnd '
many farmers are sowing another crop. The 1
demand for seed was never greater thnn at i
present, nnd the supply small indeed. Prices i
ranging from 65 to 70 cents a bushel.

Doctors In the country who may need
whisky for their patient on Sundays for medical
purpospsshould give their messengers aj,
written order for it, as the bar-keepers cannot,
retail spirits on Sunday without a medical |
prescription. We mention this because a doc-i
"tor from th*> country Font here lastSnnday for i
whisky without the order. The result was :'
that a local phyeician ernvo the order, for the
simple reason that, he did not like to take the 1
responsibility of denying whiskey which it 1
was alleged, was for a sick person some fifteen

convenient. When a public officer comes to

Ecitw Press and Banner :
l'lease lei me ask you u few questions, my
lear Misser Editor, for my poor head Is nearly
turned from reading the piece called "The
Partners' Fight," in your paper, which you
nil tbp :?rd of frVbrmirv. ntiil wliiuh
was the name H. It Tilman under it.
My name is Sally Parks, who married John
Parks in llie year that Sherman burnt Columbia,
and, as my old man reads your paper, I
?e(s the chance to And out what's going on by
reading the paper when lie gets through with
it, and that's how I come to see that piece
which I spoke about.
1 read that piece, and I read it,and the more
I read it, and read about "Moses" and 'fartn>rs
won't stick together, they are such Tools,"
and "misrule and robbery," and "banded with
Dur enemies," and "cajole!y and misrepresentation,"
and "ridicule," the more I got
mixed up, and linally says I to John: .John,
Miys J, who is li. It. Tilman ?
Now, Mister Editor, my John is what folks
sail a quiet, easy going kind of a man, till lie
^ets started, then he's a whole team, lie
Jou't talk much, so, when I a>ked liini that
question, he justsaid, "Congressman." "L'on;ressman,
John," says I, "where from ?"
'Edgefield," says he. "Why John'" says I,
*11 lie's irom Edgefield, he must be a Democrat?"
"Well, Sally" says he. sort o' dry.
lie's a Democrat now. I reckon, but he
wouldn't a been in 'the dark days of as
the politicians always say in speakiin:, if lie
liad wrote that piece then." "But. John," says
I, "what does he want to be a 'Moses* in tho
julrushes for?" "A what?" says Jolin, a
squinting at me. "A 'Mos^s'," says I. "Dun110,"
says he. "And then, John,"says I, "who
lues he mean when he says, 'we can continue
>ur misrule and robbery ?' " "I du jno," says
lohn. "Well," soys I, "he must be a talking
ibnut somebody else. for, if he is a Democrat,
ne would not talk that way about the folks
low in office. Have we not elected our own
jest men to office for nearly ten years? If
there is 'misrule and robbery,' why don't, the
people turn 'em out? Why don't he show
^vherethe 'misrule and robbery' comes in?
Let him show them up, if he cau, and the
udges are all Democrats, and good men."
Wliile 1 was a talking John Just set there a
iqulnting at me, and when I sorter stopped to
;atch breath, "Sallysays he, "what in thunier
are ye talking about?" "About 'The
farmers' Fight,' " says I, "what's printed in
,his here paper." "Let me see It," says he,
ind there lie sat. and read and read, and the
more he read, the redder he got, till I thought
ie'd bust, and never said a word, but ouly
ivh'stled like to himself.

lell you, Sully, that's a capital stump speech
:o be spoke, lint 1 would not like to write it
lown. That about 'the tK),000 white voters'
who make a living at farming, and 'who pay
three fourths of the taxef' won't bear scrutiny.
Just wait a minute, Sally, and I'll show
you."
Then John he goes to the shelf, and takes
Jown a book, which lie got in Columbia
'Now you see, Sally, this book shows that all
the lands and houses in the State are not
worth more than eighty-seven million dollars
together. it shows that the people who
jwn property in the towns Jind cities pay tax?son
nearly thirty millions of that, and It
>hows that the railroad people alone pay taxw
on over forty-seven millions of property,
nearly as much as the farmers on their lands,
>o how can the farmers pay 'three-fourths of
[he taxes.' as to the 'CO,Out) while voters' who
make a living at fanning, I can't see where
they come from. I wish we had them, but we
haven't. There is scarcely one million of men
women and children in the State, and if you
takethe doctors, and preachers, and lawyers*
ind merchants, and all the other people who
iun't make a living at farming, and who live
in the cities and towns, and add to them the
negro vote, where will the '60,000 white voters'
ivlio make a living at farming tie? Ana an
Ihat stmt' ubout. 'the ring that dominates our
State,' and 'misrule' and 'robbery,' is just as
Lhin as t'ie 'Ihrce-fourth of the Taxes,' business,
and the farmers won't bite, even if the
they are such fools,."
So John lit his pipe and went about his busies*,
but I was not satisfied in my own mind
jeeause I can't believe Mister Editor that
what that piece says is meant for our own
louie folks that we have elected to hold oftiee
;o I thought I would write you this letter, and
isk you if that piece means our own home
'oiks, for T know that you know all about it,
uid will let me know nil about it, and set my
loor heart at rest, and by so doing you will do
i great lavor to your friend who signs herself,
"SALLY PARKS."
It seems strange that in this age of the
ivorld. anybody should think of bringing up
rirlswlthoutbaving them acquire some means
>f self-support. And yet we oltcn nee a whole
amily of girls who road a little and play a
ittleanddo'a little family work and other
.hings ubout. hall' way. blissfully unconscious
)f any ability to earn a cent, even if they
,vere starving. They are expected to get marked,
but are not eveu taught housekeeping
md sewing. Oh, what recklessness for their
uture happiness and prosperity! No girl's
jducation is "finished" till she has n thorough
cnowledtreof some trade or business which
,vi 11 enable her to support herself. And she
an't. be even a lady in the best sense without
iliat ability.
When your cane-seat chairs begin to wear
>ut, mend the break the best you can by
weaving in cords, or If very bad, replace with
i piece of canvas securely tacked on; put on a
generous layer of cotton batting or ctirled
liair, and cover with a piece *f any kind of
upholstery goods, an embroidered pattern,
jrazy patchwork, or a large "log-cabin" block.
Finish the edge with furniture gimp, and
Fringe if desired. The back may be finished
with a similar panel.
The best yields of milk will be obtained If
the cows are allowed, quietly, to eat their
meals, during the milking, free from uoise
and disturbances of any kind.

Kiss empty air and never touch

They Walk in Allah's smiles by day
And nestle In Ills heart by night.
